Thank you to Cira S., Ian M., Maureen P. and Szandor Q. for your help with this one.
After upsetting King Gobblestone (which caused him to begin ranting about witches and waddle off to some other world), Rosina needs your wizard to assist her in her research about the connection between Alphoi and Gobblers, as well her theory that Gobblers physique and attitude are influenced by the food they eat.
Gob Blooth is one of the Gobblers you talk to. Eat. Rest. Play. Sleep. Gobblers don’t work.
Arrested Development is an American television sitcom that originally aired on Fox from November 2, 2003 to February 10, 2006. A fourth season of 15 episodes was released on Netflix on May 26, 2013, and a fifth season was released in two parts on May 29, 2018 and March 15, 2019. Created by Mitchell Hurwitz, the show centers the Bluth family. The Bluths are formerly wealthy and a habitually dysfunctional family.
George Oscar “Gob” Bluth II (known by his initials “G.O.B.”, played by Will Arnett) is the oldest child of George Sr. and Lucille Bluth.
By trade a part-time magician, he is a founding member of the “Magicians’ Alliance”, a group that was formed to preserve magicians’ secrets; however, he was later blacklisted by them for revealing such a secret in the pilot episode. He is known for incorporating over-the-top theatrics into his magic shows, including pyrotechnics, dance routines, wind machines, and Europe’s “The Final Countdown”. Gob’s illusions (which he adamantly never calls “tricks”) rarely work and he often shoots lighter fluid accidentally from his shirt sleeve or collar.
Arnett was nominated for a number of awards for his performance as Gob including the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2006 as well as the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series (shared with the entire cast).
Maureen P. suggested Robert Booth, a British actor best known for The Wild West Show (1975), The Professionals (1977) and Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall (1973).
Szandor Q. suggested Don Bluth, an American filmmaker, animator, video game designer and author. He is best known for directing the animated films The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Anastasia and Titan A.E., for his involvement in the LaserDisc games Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace, and for competing with former employer Walt Disney Productions during the years leading up to the films that became the Disney Renaissance.
Though possible, I believe the last two to be coincidental, but plausible enough to warrant a mention.
